With a lot of weather data you end up with these large gridded files like grib, netcdf, hdf, etc. Does anyone know if theres a way to get this kind of data into a database or something where you can query it quickly? I've been wondering how people handle this kind of data for awhile.<p>The only idea I came up with was contouring the data into shapes and then storing those shapes in a db that can do spatial queries.
